Lilac, I refuse to throw tomatoes (rotten or otherwise) at anyone, so you can stop ducking. I've browsed the Sony store and they do have a very nice selection, but since I'm not buying a Sony reader, I don't *think* it's going to do me much good?
And yep, free is ALWAYS good, unfortunately my local library has an EXTREMELY small (like 20 titles) list of available ebooks, and none I am particulary interested in reading.
Phew, I was worried about the acid getting in my eyes

Yeah, their store wouldn't help you much if you didn't have a Reader. You can certainly buy them though. You just download their software, and get an account. No Reader necessary. You can full screen it too. Here's a screen shot.
